Lucy Letby: Doctor who blew the whistle on baby murderer was made to feel he was 'a problem'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA hospital consultant said he was made to feel he was 'a problem' when he blew the whistle on killer nurse Lucy Letby. Twice hospital consultants raised concerns about Letby - but her trial heard they were urged ‘not to make a fuss’.
One of them, paediatrician Dr Stephen Brearey, today said hospital executives should be regulated in the same way doctors are.
He said: "You go to a senior colleague with a problem and you come away confused and anxious because that problem is being turned in a way in which you start to realise they are seeing you as a problem." Letby, 33, was eventually removed from night shifts - but she carried on attacking infants during day shifts at the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Yesterday (August 21), Letby was handed a whole life term by a judge at Manchester Crown Court after she had been found Letby guilty of murdering seven babies, and guilty of attempting to murder six others during her time working at the hospital.
